£40m Bid Made For Sigurdsson

[KUEFC09U2]

It's the Daily Mail Kev. Just posted for awareness of where this Leicester talk is coming from.

Agreed, just pointing out how different the media is

There is an agreement in place with Swansea. This will become a deal once they have signed their replacement. Settle down now lads.

Is it the full £50m mate or like £40m ish with add ons?

Edit: if you know/can say

Eh? Was in a paper? Hence the use of the word "apparently"

I wouldn't be paying him 150k a week. Then we'd have to increase proven performers' wages to a similar level of risk major disharmony within the squad and that could be very dangerous. And increasing 4 or 5 player' wages significantly would cost far too much in my opinion. Sigurdsson is very good, but no way a 50m player or a 150k a week player. Look abroad, the Bundesliga for example and we'd pay about 30m for a similar player on much lower wages..

We could have offered to give Gylfi the moon on a stick. The bigger issue is the 50 million to Swansea.

Yeah, that was what made think that they could be looking to replace Son/Lamela in their starting line up.

I do agree on Son, by the way; he's a fantastic player. I just don't know who else would make way if they decided to go out and buy their own version of Hazard/Sanchez.

lamela ha

As a Swansea fan how do you feel about losing Gylfi?

 

[toffeejack]

not sure why people are saying this looks less likely given that barkley looks even more likely to leave and siggurdsson has not traveled with the swans to the US because he wants to leave.

Disavowing of the Index ???

Kevin, it will NOT be kind to you this week

as an everton fan i'm happy we're getting in a player that will improve us vastly. Honestly don't understand why our fans are turning their noses up at a player who can get double figures in goals and assists.

as a swansea fan ... we're doomed, but that's what you get for selling your best players year after year as they've been doing for about 5 seasons running. Will get a good price though, money is necessary for swnasea, money seems no object for everton. Good deal

if selling him means you can bring Bony back would you want that?

...caught in a weasel trap, very difficult to squirm out of one of those.

Leicester are offering Gylfi Sigurdsson more money than Everton in an effort to persuade the midfielder to snub the Toffees, reports the Daily Mail.

They say the Foxes have offered the Iceland midfielder a deal worth £125,000 per week.

Swansea want a £50m transfer fee for the 27-year-old, who asked not to travel to the USA for the club's pre-season tour.

Player wants move to us and we can offer more money than leicester.
